Illigals

The Illigals live /

In a language foreign made /

On a patch misspelled.

The Solstice has passed. /

Let us now speak of Summer. /

But, first, let us nap.

Haiku and photo: “Cane and me”

Cane and me

Substance or shadow, /

Science or superstition, /

Love’s dark truth, Hate’s light?

Poem and photo: “Into the Earth”

Into the Earth

The stream of color /

the leaves of sound /

the grounding of light /

into the Earth we are bound.

Haiku and photo: “The music”

The music

I see a cello /

And maybe three violins. /

Flowering music.

Stepping stones

Petals in morning. /

White stepping stones to the sun. /

Light and shadows climb.
